Insight from TheStreet's Research Team:

Mobileye is a part of Bryan Ashenberg's GrowthSeeker.com Portfolio. Here is what Ashenberg had to say about the stock in a recent weekly summary:

Shares of Mobileye soared 6% this week, on top of last week's 10% gain. The catalyst for the shares move has been the National Transportation Safety Board's call on car manufacturers to make collision avoidance systems standard in newly manufactured vehicles. In an extensive report, the NTSB highlighted that collision warning systems, particularly when paired with active braking, could significantly reduce the frequency and severity of rear-end crashes.

Mobileye stands to benefit from these recommendations as it designs and develops software and related technologies for camera-based advanced driver assistance systems. Mobileye's systems marry the company's proprietary software algorithms and its system-on-a-chip design (EyeQ) to provide visual information for the driver- assistance-systems market.
